In addition, it aims to explain how companies, universities, government and users interact in the development and validation of new goods, services and systems in a real environment. A quantitative method was applied because the variables are measured and compared with the theories addressed and that will facilitate the design of a survey applied to a representative sample of the universe under study. The relevant findings indicate that the instrument complies with the elements of validity and reliability. Allowing to explain knowledge management, through the variables Open Innovation, Living Labs.
